Reread the paragraph he's talking about the 59 Ford...

I see. I have experienced a 60s Ford with single-master non-power brakes. I'd rather ride a bicycle.

I'm in the process of resurrecting this little guy. It sat behind a garage for a decade before I got it. I plan to leave the exterior as is - it has lots of character.

Thanks. I have a soft spot for '70s-era Japanese trucks, and finding this one was like hitting the jackpot. Very few of the first-gen Ford Couriers made it into the 21st century, and while mine is a bit rough, it still looks better than 80% of the ones still out there.
It needs a ton of work before it can be driven again, but the good news is it's structurally and mechanically sound. My only regret is that the bumper and turn signal got damaged while it was being moved - parts are nonexistent for these trucks. -Tim |

93 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S Had it for 10 years bought off my ex high school principal , this car wont die!
94 Buick Roadmaster Limited. LT1 engine , gran touring suspension , all the toys but leather and sunroof . Got this for my 50th , my wife said I could get a "special car" for myself. Needs some work, actually more than I thought but these aren't exactly getting anymore plentiful these days so it is definitely worth saving 04 Toyota Sienna van. It's a Toyota what else can I say?! Its got lots of room for hauling consoles... Hmmmm I'm sure a Sony KV-3000R would fit in there with the seats out..... Last edited by MX70; 07-08-2023 at 09:08 AM. |

93' Explorer Sport 5-speed mom bought new in 93' and became mine in 02' and still daily drive to this day. This thing is so solid I just never needed or wanted to replace it.
10' Corolla S - My wife's daily she bought when we were dating and paid off. It's holding up just like the Explorer has...but that's expected being a Toyota and all. |

1999 Dodge Dakota, 4x4 with the 5.2 Magnum V8. It's rusty but trusty, but the 10mpg is really killing me lately.

It got upper teens on the hi-way. It's been in storage for a while, which is not good. The check engine light is on. I did a scan and showed a fault stating one cylinder is running lean. I bought my 1st Dakota, a 1991 with 141K miles on it with a 318. The 318 is practically bullet proof. I bought three used and one new. They all went well over 100K miles, without major issues. |

Picked up an 05 Audi A4 Quattro wagon last week. 2.0/fsi/turbo. Something is goofy with the ABS/speedo/tach and the xenon headlights are about to expire but otherwise it’s sound

Actually, your motor might be a bit different. But still. Come to think of it, I had a Passat with that motor that we did chains on, as well. Yes it has two chains and a belt. Also, direct injection, so you'll need to clean the valves every, oh I don't know, maybe 10k miles. Buy a can of Seafoam, the aerosol kind for cleaning intake valves, and use that.
